Calling all bird enthusiasts!
 
On Friday, June 12th at 1:00 pm, volunteer naturalist Don Endicott will be presenting on the Peregrine Falcon through a virtual, Zoom event! As a retired civilian engineer and executive in the field of Navy Communications and Network Technologies in San Diego, Don has discovered a second career as a naturalist—and his involvement in the community sure is broad.
 
Don Endicott serves as Mission Trails Regional Park Trail Guide, Interpretive Guide for the National Association of Interpretation, member of Project Wildlife’s “Bat Team” under the San Diego Humane Society, and a public educator for the San Diego Natural History Museum. Moreover, Don frequently presents multi-media talks on Bats and Mountain Lions at regional venues such as Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, Mission Trails Regional Park, and Agua Caliente County Park. He conducts field research on bats, helping various organizations assess bat species presence and seasonal activity. 

A volunteer at Cabrillo National Monument since 2011, Don supports herpetofauna and intertidal surveys. He has monitored nesting Peregrine Falcons for the Park since 2016 and supports annual banding of falcon chicks.

We can’t wait to hear what Don has to teach us and hope to see you there!
